TesiraFORTÉ DAN AI

What the TesiraFORTÉ DAN AI handles in a networked room

The TesiraFORTÉ DAN AI is a digital signal processor that sits at the centre of a networked audio system. It takes 12 mic/line inputs and feeds 8 mic/line outputs, while its Dante network carries 32 x 32 channels of audio between connected devices. It is also an AES67-enabled endpoint, so it can exchange audio with other AES67-compatible equipment on the same network. That matters when a project combines hardware from more than one manufacturer.

Processing, connectivity and day-to-day control

Signal processing is set up in Tesira software, covering EQ, dynamics, filtering, mixing, delay and routing. In practice, this lets an installer tune microphone pickup, add delay for loudspeakers in a larger hall, and change the mix sent to each output without rewiring the room. Up to 8 channels of USB audio can be configured at 16- or 24-bit, 48 kHz, which suits a laptop or conferencing computer connected to the room.

For control, the unit provides Gigabit Ethernet, RS-232 and GPIO ports, so a control processor or automation platform can be integrated with it. A two-line OLED display with capacitive-touch navigation shows device status and essential settings on the front panel, which helps technicians during commissioning and service visits.

Where it fits in Qatar

A boardroom in West Bay or Msheireb often needs clear pickup for a bilingual team and a stable link to colleagues abroad. A DSP like this lets the integrator set microphone gain, EQ and mix for that single room, then repeat the same design across similar rooms in the same building.

A lecture theatre in Education City or a university training centre may need several lecturer microphones plus floor microphones, with separate output zones for the hall and an overflow room. Twelve inputs and eight outputs give that kind of layout room to grow.

A hotel ballroom in Lusail, a stadium media room or an event venue is a sound reinforcement setting, where the Dante network and eight outputs let the operator route audio to different zones from one unit.

What to plan before ordering

Allow 44 mm of rack height and check the 267 mm depth against your cabinet. The unit weighs 3.63 kg. Its internal universal power supply accepts 100-240 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz, which covers Qatar's 240 V, 50 Hz mains. Confirm the power cord with the SmartRooms Qatar team so it matches your socket. Each input provides +48 VDC phantom power at 7 mA, so check the requirements of your microphones before choosing them.

The rated ambient range is 0–40°C, with non-condensing humidity up to 98% and operation up to 2,000 m altitude. Install it in an air-conditioned comms room or cabinet. Locations outside that range, such as an unventilated cabinet during summer, need checking with SmartRooms Qatar before installation.

The unit carries FCC Part 15B, CE, UL and C-UL, RCM and RoHS marks and is TAA compliant, which matters if your project's procurement rules require it. It is Biamp Workplace Ready, so it can be monitored and managed remotely through the Workplace platform, and it comes with a 5-year warranty.

Send us your room plan, the number of microphones, outputs and any USB sources, and SmartRooms Qatar will prepare a quotation for the TesiraFORTÉ DAN AI, usually within one working day. Request a quote today and we can arrange a free site survey before installation.
